E-commerce websites.

Blogs.
Blogs are like magazines only that their content is more personalised.They are normally written by people who are more prolific in writing.Sometimes they are accompanied by pictures and videos called vlogs.The content should be very creative as they reach so many people.Therefore before releasing them to the general public,they should be thoroughly previewed.

Social media websites.
